AND THE AWARD FOR MOST SUCKIEST READER GOES TO ...
Yep. It goes to me.
Today I have read a grand total of 0%. But I got a fair deal of writing Books of Amber done, and I've had a block for the past fortnight, so that's good ... right?

Debutathon update: Friday
Friday
Five years ago, Wren Connolly was shot three times in the chest. After 178 minutes she came back as a Reboot: stronger, faster, able to heal, and less emotional. The longer Reboots are dead, the less human they are when they return. Wren 178 is the deadliest Reboot in the Republic of Texas. Now seventeen years old, she serves as a soldier for HARC (Human Advancement and Repopulation Corporation).
Wren’s favorite part of the job is training new Reboots, but her latest newbie is the worst she’s ever seen. As a 22, Callum Reyes is practically human. His reflexes are too slow, he’s always asking questions, and his ever-present smile is freaking her out. Yet there’s something about him she can’t ignore. When Callum refuses to follow an order, Wren is given one last chance to get him in line—or she’ll have to eliminate him. Wren has never disobeyed before and knows if she does, she’ll be eliminated, too. But she has also never felt as alive as she does around Callum.
The perfect soldier is done taking orders

Day challenge #2
Welp I suck. I totally missed the first challenge.
Anyway, to fit Charming I chose Versus The Allegiance by Straight Lines.
In the book there's a rag tag group of supernatural creature hunters? I suppose you'd call them that, even though half of them are supernatural creatures themselves. Well basically they get together to stop murderous vampires and it has a very us vs them feel, and the song fits very well.

Debutathon update: Thursday
Thursday:
John Charming isn't your average Prince... He comes from a line of Charmings — an illustrious family of dragon slayers, witch-finders and killers dating back to before the fall of Rome. Trained by a modern day version of the Knights Templar, monster hunters who have updated their methods from chainmail and crossbows to kevlar and shotguns, he was one of the best. That is — until he became the abomination the Knights were sworn to hunt.That was a lifetime ago. Now, he tends bar under an assumed name in rural Virginia and leads a peaceful, quiet life. One that shouldn't change just because a vampire and a blonde walked into his bar... Right?

Debut-a-thon (Officially day 1!)
My indecisiveness will change my decision if I decide three books now, but I'm starting with a galley of Charming.
I'm totally going to fail this read-a-thon.

Debut-a-Thon!
So I saw this awesome read-a-thon on twitter which focuses on 2013 debuts. I haven't done a read-a-thon before, but I know a few people who have and it seems fun. It's also conveniently when I'll have all my stuff with The Forgotten out of the way and I can read freely.
The books I intend/will attempt to read are:
(Although two of these aren't due until August, I know they're available on Netgalley, and really want to review them!)
The Debut-a-Thon is hosted by Books of Amber (which still makes me giggle, since it's the title of a book of mine) and you can sign up/find out more about it here!
